I didn't realize until I looked online that ambrosia is defined as oranges and coconut. Mom always used oranges, coconut, red and green apples, pieapple, maraschino cherries, bananas, and chopped pecans. Hubby doesn't like the the coconut, so we omit that. And we add the pecans and bananas as we serve it because the bananas tend to get icky and the pecans get soggy.
